- The disclosure relates to ladder accessory devices and more particularly pertains to a new ladder accessory device for protecting surfaces from being damaged by a ladder.
- The prior art relates to ladder accessory devices.
- An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a pad body having a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a back side. The back side has a medial slot extending towards the front side from the top side to the bottom side. The slot is configured to receive a ladder. The pad body is a resilient cushioning material. At least one strap is coupled to the pad body. Each strap has a proximal end coupled to the left side proximal the back side and a first and second mating member coupled to a distal end of the strap and the right side of the pad body proximal the back side, respectively. The first and second mating members are selectively engageable to secure the strap and the strap is configured to secure the apparatus to the ladder.
- There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
- The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
- The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
-
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of a ladder pad apparatus according to an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 2 is an isometric view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 3 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view along the line 4-4 ofFIG. 3 of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 5 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. -
FIG. 6 is an in-use view of an embodiment of the disclosure. - With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
FIGS. 1 through 6 thereof, a new ladder accessory device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by thereference numeral 10 will be described. - As best illustrated in
FIGS. 1 through 6 , theladder pad apparatus 10 generally comprises apad body 12 having atop side 14, abottom side 16, aleft side 18, aright side 20, afront side 22, and aback side 24. Theback side 24 has amedial slot 26 extending towards thefront side 22 from thetop side 14 to thebottom side 16. Theslot 26 is configured to receive aladder 28. Theslot 26 may receive arung 30 or aside rail 32 of theladder 28 to prevent theladder 28 from directly contacting and damaging a surface such as, but not limited to, a wall, a rafter, a gutter, or other structure. Thepad body 12 may be rectangular prismatic and has apad height 34 between thetop side 14 and thebottom side 16 greater than apad depth 36 between thefront side 22 and theback side 24. Thepad depth 36 is greater than apad width 38 between theleft side 18 and theright side 20. Thepad height 34 may be 2.4 times thepad depth 36 and thepad depth 36 may be 25% greater than thepad width 38. Aslot width 40 of the slot is equal to 25% of thepad width 38 and aslot depth 42 of the slot is equal to 60% of thepad depth 36. Thepad height 34, thepad depth 36, and thepad width 38 may be 12 inches, five inches, and four inches, respectively. Theslot width 40 and theslot depth 42 may be one inch and three inches, respectively. Thepad body 12 is a resilient cushioning material such as, but not limited to, medium density foam, high density foam, memory foam, and the like. - At least one
strap 44 is coupled to thepad body 12. Eachstrap 44 has aproximal end 46 coupled to theleft side 18 proximal theback side 24 and a first 48 andsecond mating member 50 coupled to adistal end 52 of the strap and theright side 20 of the pad body proximal theback side 24, respectively. The first 48 andsecond mating members 50 are selectively engageable to secure thestrap 44 and thestrap 44 is configured to secure theapparatus 10 to theladder 28. The at least onestrap 44 may be a pair ofstraps 44 disposed proximal thetop side 14 and thebottom side 16. The first 48 andsecond mating members 50 may comprise a hook and loop fastener or other type of releasable fastener such as, but not limited to, buttons, snaps, and the like. Thesecond mating member 50 may be oriented perpendicular to theback side 24 to allow a length of thestrap 44 to be adjusted accordingly to the appropriate size of the element of theladder 28 to which theapparatus 10 is being secured. - In use, the
rung 30 orside rail 32 of the ladder is placed within theslot 26 and thestraps 44 are wrapped around theladder 28. The first 48 andsecond mating members 50 are engaged to secure theapparatus 10 in place. Theladder 28 may then be used with theapparatus 10 serving as a buffer to prevent damage. - With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
- Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
